The Jazz have played excellent defense in their last two games. They held San Antonio to just 64 points on Friday, and last night they held New Orleans to 66. In these two games, the Jazz have completely validated what Sloan has been saying all year – if you want to win, you have to play defense. Especially last night against the Hornets, when the Jazz didn’t have a particularly good night offensively, they were still able to handle the Hornets without any trouble because of the caliber of defense they played. With the playoffs right around the corner, it’s definitely a good sign to see the Jazz stepping up their defensive game – especially on the road like last night.
The Jazz have 4 regular season games left:
- 4/10 @ Dallas
- 4/12 vs Denver
- 4/14 vs Houston
- 4/16 @ San Antonio
Every game is so important in this tight Western Conference race. The Jazz can’t afford to lose even one if they want to secure home-court advantage at least for the first round of the playoffs. Let’s hope they win them all!
